Wild Ancient Tree Black

Wild Ancient Tree Black – Rare Yunnan Wild Tree Black Tea

Our fine Wild Ancient Tree Black tea is a rare and unique treasure, harvested from untamed wild tea trees growing at more than 2, 000 meters above sea level in southwestern China's Yunnan Province. These 100-year-old trees are hand-picked only once a year, in spring, and their ancient root systems reach deep into mineral-rich soil, giving the tea its remarkably complex flavor and body.

Wild tree teas are prized by connoisseurs for their untamed, characterful flavor — something cultivated tea gardens simply can't replicate. Once steeped, the dark leaves release a brilliant, clear, warm-brown liquor with a floral, date-like fragrance. At first sip, you'll be drawn deeper by notes of berry, pickled plum and cassis — distinctly wild-tasting, with a strong cha qi and a lingering freshness on the palate.
